Ford continued to produce Americas affordable Model T at a rapid
pace into the 1920s, averaging over 1 million units each year! The
simplicity of the design, along with nine model choices to choose
from, made Ford an easy choice for budget conscience buyers. They
consisted of an inline four cylinder L-head engine producing an
estimated 20 horsepower, two-speed planetary transmission, solid
front axle with transverse semi-elliptic leaf spring, live rear
axle with transverse semi-elliptic leaf spring on a 100 wheelbase,
and two-wheel mechanical rear drum brakes. Ford Model T Depot Hack

Model T Depot Hack was painstakingly restored while in the hands of
a longtime Ohio owner, who started by stripping this example down
to its foundation and starting from scratch! This included a
complete media blasting of the chassis and fully repainting it. The
engine and driveline components all fully rebuilt, including the
brakes. The metal body components are all straight, rust free steel
originals that were painted in red oxide before being covered in
Henry Fords favorite color. The body itself was all hand-crafted in
oak with expert precision and stunning results! The ribbed roof is
nicely covered in vinyl and make for a perfect canopy for using in
parades, special interest business displays, or hauling the
grandkids around the neighborhood! Should weather protection be
necessary, the side curtains are ready at a moments notice to
conceal your cargo! It continues to start and run quite well and we
invite buyers looking for interesting pieces for their collections
to call with offers. Included with this example is a full photo
album documenting the restoration completed approximately30 years
ago (1989)! Yes, thats right. It continues to look outstanding
after all these years! Always garaged and used sparingly each year.
Chances to find Model Ts finished to this caliber do not come
around very often!
